Chapter 180: Chapter 180: I’ll Buy It for You, You Don’t Have to Spend Money
 

Just then, a man resembling a butler knocked on the door.

The butler gave Bai Chuwei and the others a slight bow and said with an out-of-town accent, “My master has asked you to stop raising the bid.”

Bai Chuwei’s eyebrows lifted slightly. The butler quickly continued, “Miss, please don’t misunderstand; our family’s old gentleman simply wanted to remind you that there will be Spirit Talismans for sale later at the auction, which might be more useful than the Spiritual Medicine. You could save some unnecessary expenditure.”

So he had come to remind her, not to cause trouble.

Bai Chuwei’s lips curled upwards slightly, “Thanks to your family’s old gentleman, but what I want is this Snow Lotus.”

While she spoke, the Snow Lotus was forcibly bid up to 2.4 million by someone in Box 09! Bai Chuwei’s face darkened.

Bai Chuwei even suspected that the person in Box 09 was a shill for the auction house!

Seeing Bai Chuwei persist in her error, the butler sighed and turned to leave.

The waiter trembled and stuttered, “The guest in Box 09’s request is… is…”

“An explanation,” the man’s low voice surged from the direction of the door.

No sooner had the man finished speaking than the bell from Box 09 accurately rang again…

The next moment, a knock came from outside the box; a man in a suit and leather shoes pushed the door open and walked in, crouching down in front of her.

His deep and clear eyes slowly revealed a hint of a smile. He spoke in a low and relaxed pace, “I’ll buy it for you, you don’t need to spend the money.”

“Duan Feihan??? What are you doing here?!” Bai Chuwei exclaimed in astonishment.

Bai Chuwei and Duan Feihan locked eyes, and she could almost see her own reflection in his dark pupils.

Suddenly, Bai Chuwei realized—

Hadn’t she told Duan Feihan yesterday that she “was busy and needed to study hard”?

The peculiar embarrassment of saying goodnight and then meeting in King’s Canyon was as awkward as a car crash scene!

The dreaded silence that suddenly fills the air.

As long as she wasn’t embarrassed, others would be!

The excited auctioneer below was calling out, “2.5 million for the first time, 2.5 million for the second time, 2.5 million for the third time, congratulations to the guest in Box 09 for acquiring this Snow Lotus.”

Bai Chuwei was awakened by the auctioneer’s gavel, looking at the handsome man before her, she realized and said, “Duan Feihan, if you wanted to be the big spender, you should’ve said so earlier!”

If she had known that the person in Box 09 was Duan Feihan, she wouldn’t have bothered competing!

A vein twitched on Duan Feihan’s temple: “…”

Big spender.

The very perceptive waiter quickly brought over a chair.

Duan Feihan sat down beside Bai Chuwei, casting a cold sidelong glance at Qi Mo, his tone casual, “Maybe you can explain why you said you were going to stay in and study hard tonight?”

Qi Mo spread his hands innocently, glancing at Bai Ze.

Wasn’t there another man in the box? Why was he only looking at him?

Bai Ze: … I’m her cousin!

Bai Chuwei propped her chin up, showing no embarrassment from being caught by Duan Feihan, and clicked her tongue, “Hanhan, you’re too naive. A woman’s words can’t be trusted!”

Duan Feihan corrected, “You are a young girl.”

Qi Mo picked up his tea, smiling as he took a sip with his head lowered.

Bai Chuwei glared and kicked Qi Mo’s ankle, “What do you mean? Am I not fit to be a young girl?”

Being revered and worshipped by so many as an ancestor, being pampered as a young girl had its own charm.

Qi Mo choked and coughed a few times, his voice gentle and subservient as he looked down, “Not at all, you can be whatever you want.”

Duan Feihan watched their interaction, his brows gradually knitting together.

He had long heard that their relationship was out of the ordinary…

The young girl beside him suddenly lit up, tugging at his sleeve, “Hanhan, how much money did you bring tonight? Can you help me buy a jade stone?”
